My Christmas Pets
Each of my cats, my heart does adore;
yes, lovingly, I adore all four.
Raja, Mati, Walter and Lacy
all love Christmas messes like crazy.
For their gifts, I got them a-plenty:
One blue jay in an oak tree;
two wind-up mice;
three fake bees;
four catfish sliced;
five tunnel rings;
six tails a-wagging;
seven balls a-jingling;
eight worms a-wiggling;
nine squirrels dancing;
ten frogs a-croaking;
eleven lizards zigging; and,
twelve red dots streaming.
But, my cats ignored all the gifts bought
until we opened one goldilocks,
two alarm clocks, many pairs of socks
and all four cats laid with happy flops
inside their most favorite gift box.
